The
Conqueror of the Hill is an annual applied engineering/technology/science
competition for all public and private high school students (grades 9 through
12) in New Jersey. Each year the competition focuses on designing and building a
“robot” made from common household items designed to complete a specific
task on the playing field of a plywood hill. This is a head-to-head competition
where two teams at a time compete against one another on the same hill,
incorporating both offensive and defensive strategies in the design of their
robot.
